Is this a legit apple address: appleid_usen@email.apple.com

I received an email from this email address (appleid_usen@email.apple.com), which said what is pasted below. Does anyone know if that email address is legit?

Hi. No, I had not made any changes. This was an old Apple ID that I had used for an ipad, which I haven't signed into in a very long time. I didn't even know what the old password was. I ended up calling Apple, and after some time on the phone with them, they established that someone had indeed gotten access to my account, and my security questions and answers had been changed on it. We knew this immediately because the security questions were written in a different language, along with the answers. I do not have a Mac anymore (could not figure out how to work it, so I went back to a PC), and apparently, the only way to fix it the issue with a Mac, so I am going to have my daughter help me with her Mac as soon as she is able to, to see if we can just delete the ID altogether. Thanks for replying.

After I updated my payment method last time, I got a similar “was this you?” email from Apple.

From: Apple <appleid@id.apple.com>
Reply-To: appleid_ccll@email.apple.com

where cc is the two-letter country code and ll is the two-letter language code.


So to me, your message seems legit.
